Tom Swift and His Air Glider / Seeking the Platinum Treasure

Description

Tom Swift. There isn't any more danger than there ever was, but I guess Ned is nervous since our trip to the underground city of gold. I am not! indignantly exclaimed the other lad, with a look at the young inventor. But you know yourself, Tom, that putting this new propeller on your airship, changing the wing tips, and re-gearing the motor has made an altogether different sort of a craft of it. You, yourself, said it wasn't as reliable as before, even though it does go faster. Now look here, Ned! burst out Tom. That was last week that I said it wasn't reliable. It is now, for I've tried it out several times, and yet, when I ask you to take a trip with me, to act as ballast Is that all you want me for, Tom, to act as ballast? Then you'd better take a bag of sand -or Mr. Damon here! Me? I guess not! Bless my diamond ring! My wife hasn't forgiven me for going off on that last trip with you, Tom, and I'm not going to take any more right away. But I don't blame Ned- Say, look here! cried Tom, a little out of patience, you know me better than that, Ned.
